Vehicle Gateway

Vehicle Gateway

The Vehicle Gateway is an advanced sensor platform that captures real-time vehicle and driver data in the cloud to improve fleet efficiency, safety, and productivity.

With live GPS tracking, remote diagnostics, FMCSA-registered ELD capabilities, and more, the Vehicle Gateway enables operators with powerful insights and analytics to optimise dispatch, routing, fuel and energy, maintenance, compliance and driver management. Easy to install and fully compatible with Samsara dash cameras, sensors and accessories, the Vehicle Gateway is ideal for quick deployment, centralised visibility and streamlined efficiency.

Comprehensive Fleet Visibility

Samsara's Vehicle Gateway offers precise GPS tracking with real-time visibility, harnessing advanced technology to simultaneously read from multiple independent satellite systems. This ensures accurate location data even in challenging geographical environments. Integrated with a variety of built-in and accessory sensors, the Vehicle Gateway provides a comprehensive view of your fleet's operations. Monitor engine diagnostics, fuel efficiency, driver productivity and safety effortlessly. Ideal for specialised fleets, it supports wireless temperature monitoring for refrigerated units and offers visibility into various vehicle components such as power takeoff, lift arm, ploughs, sweepers, fluid tanks and gas pressure.

Electronic logging

FMCSA-registered ELD in the US and third-party certified in Canada; works with tachographs in Europe.

High-speed connectivity

4G LTE cellular with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for mobile devices. The Vehicle Gateway offers a 10x speed advantage over 3G devices, providing a high-speed data platform ideal for mobile apps, dash cameras and HD video to increase productivity and enable new in-cab software tools. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot enables in-cab Wi-Fi connectivity for tablets, laptops and mobile devices.

Easy installation

With a flexible and intuitive mounting system, slots in the housing to hold tie straps, smart diagnostics connectors, enhanced status feedback including multi-coloured LEDs to confirm vehicle network connectivity/enhanced troubleshooting and internal antennas, the Vehicle Gateway installs in most vehicles in just a few minutes. Discreet mounting options minimise the risk of tampering and a built-in last gasp feature alerts if power is lost to the device.
